Reuters witnesses saw dense plumes of black smoke billowing in the air after at least 10 blasts. They said a building located in Beirut’s Chiyah neighborhood was reduced to rubble and the few people in the area had fled ahead of the explosion, resulting in no casualties.

Blasts rock Beirut as Israeli sorties target financial group helping fund Hezbollah

Lebanese civilians in Hezbollah strongholds told to seek shelter as Israel strikes Al-Qard Al-Hassan, an unlicensed bank accused of helping terror group move money

Israeli airstrikes targeted branches of an association accused of financing the Hezbollah terror group late Sunday and early Monday, Lebanese state media reported, as Israel appeared to expand its campaign against the Iran-backed group and degrade its ability to fund operations.

At least 11 strikes were reported in Beirut’s southern suburbs, with more attacks tallied in southern Lebanon and the northeastern Beqaa Valley region, all Hezbollah strongholds, as panicked civilians tried to reach shelter.

Most of the strikes targeted branches of Al-Qard Al-Hassan, an unlicensed gray-market bank seen as one of the group’s main sources of cash.

Israel said earlier in the evening that it was launching a campaign against Hezbollah’s funding networks, warning civilians to get away from any Al-Qard Al-Hassan facility.

“We will strike many sites in the coming hours, and more sites overnight. In the coming days, we will reveal how Iran finances Hezbollah’s terror activity using civilian institutions and associations as a cover,” IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Sunday night, shortly before the sorties began.

Hundreds of Beirut residents fled their homes as explosions echoed across the Lebanese capital, including near Beirut’s international airport, which sits adjacent to the southern Beirut suburb known as Dahiyeh where Hezbollah is largely based.
